Okay, so here's a question:

Is it as simple as installing yum from:

rpm -ivh yum-2.0.4-1.noarch.rpm (from the Duke mirror)
rpm -F /home/slot0k/fedora-release-1-3.i386.rpm
yum upgrade

I had to force the fedora-release package as it conflicted with all the
issue files from RH9.

When yum upgrade ran, it updated all of ethereal, and nothing else.

Um, am I running RH9 on this particular box?  Or Fedora?

Login says Fedora, but not much got updated.

I'd be more interested in seeing how to move RH 7.2 machines to Fedora
than 7.3, 8.0, or 9.
